Call Of Duty One-Shots

Mom And Dad Are Fighting... (TF 141xOC)

Two birds, one stone. I need to write more shorts with Laswell and I need to make the obvious mom and dad joke. Enjoy the shenanigans!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The times that Laswell and Price disagree on how a mission should be run are very few and far in between since their objective is the same.

Get in, complete the objective, get out alive.

Obviously, the plans are more elaborate than just that, but that's the gist of it.

The few times they argue are when Price is on a short enough fuse that he's willing to take on a riskier approach on missions for the sake of finishing it faster. It normally happens whenever he's had a long week and the meeting happens during the late afternoon.

Safe to say, Laswell won't stand for that. "We can't take unnecessary risks just for the sake of finishing faster, Captian."

"Come on, Laswell. The second we get what we need, the enemy will be right on our arse. We need a quick in and out to avoid getting caught." He counters with a frustrated sigh.

"You have more than enough time doing it normally, and you know it." She answers sternly. "I'm not green-lighting this mission if this is your plan."

The two superiors are lost in their own little bubble, leaving the 4 soldiers to place their bets on the results of this quarrel. Seeing the two fight is incredibly entertaining, especially when Laswell's the one who usually comes out on top.

"... I've got 5 quid on Price ending up on the couch." Ghost grumbles, speaking loudly enough to only be heard by his fellow Lieutenant and the two Sergeants.

(For us Americans, that's a little more than $6. Since they're based in Europe, I need to use pounds/quids for accuracy.)

Gaz gives him an unbelieving look. "How? That doesn't even make any sense."

"Aye, I'll take that bet." Soap says in response, siding with the other Sergeant and not believing that it could be possible.

Money is placed on the table as the argument continues.

"-serious, Captain? If you take that exit, you'll risk exposing yourselves as you escape."

"It'll barely be for a minute as we run here for cover. We'll be fine." He points to a location on the map and continues defending his plan.

Indy keeps track of who bet what and where, scribbling it down on a notepad, and then placing her own 5 quid on the table. "Laswell is gonna start bringing up soccer at some point."

"Football." Ghost corrects, putting his own 5 quid with hers, betting that the subject won't be brought up.

Gaz places his own money with Indy's, while Soap puts his with Ghost's.

"... 10 quid the Captain gets his way." They all stare at Gaz in shock as he puts his money on the table.

(About $12 )

"Are ye mad?" Soap asks in disbelief.

He doesn't get an answer as Indy and Ghost both bet against Gaz and put their own money on the table to match his bet. Not like they have anything better to do with it.

"-necessary in order to avoid an attack on this end. This is a weak point, which means we need to take the risk and enter through here."

"No. You should use this door since it avoids the weak point and makes sure you get in safer."
